This amazing course was built atop a huge hill so the terrain is extremely undulating and sloped The hilly layout causes hidden breaks to occur on the very large greens which are maintained reasonably fast All the fairways are tree lined and there are multiple cuts of rough that will cost any golfer strokes if he or she is unlucky enough to find themselves stuck in it The signature hole is 12 a 173 yard par 3 requiring a tee shot over a rose bed that plays the same as a water hazard to a somewhat sloped green Water hazards come into play on seven holes Golf Digest rated this as the 6th Best in State course for 1995 96 and the 9th best for 1997 98 GOLFWEEK ranked it 73rd among America s 100 Best Modern Courses for 1997
